History

Founded in 2002 as Island Transvoyager, the company had three Dornier 228 aircraft. All of these were retired by early 2013 and replaced by ATR 42-600s. Ayala Capital Corporation acquired ownership of ITI in 2012. In October 2015, Island Transvoyager rebranded as AirSWIFT.[1] Currently, AirSWIFT has daily flights from El Nido to Manila and Cebu.

gollark: Worming out?

gollark: `set potatOS.disable_backdoors true` before installing, simple.
